Dennis Quaid: “Our kids could have been dying”

Dennis Quaid is speaking out about the drug overdose accident that almost killed his two twins. Quaid is claiming that the hospital misled him, telling him over the phone that his kids were “fine” instead of relaying the seriousness of the situation.

But about two hours before that call, nurses had noticed his daughter oozing blood from an intravenous site on her arm and a spot on her heel, state records show. The Quaids said no one notified them, and they feel betrayed and misled.

“Our kids could have been dying, and we wouldn’t have been able to come down to the hospital to say goodbye,” Quaid told the newspaper.

Hospital spokesman Richard Elbaum declined to address most of the Quaids’ allegations directly.
